Book: Prototyping Augmented Reality

Bart · December 13, 2011

Tony Mullen presents his new book, Prototyping Augmented Reality.

Tony writes:

I wanted to let people know that my latest book, “Prototyping Augmented Reality” is out. The book covers quick and easy AR programming with Processing, incorporating physical computing with Arduino, browser-based AR with FLARToolkit, getting started with mobile AR on Android, and creating and exporting 3D content for AR using Blender, among other topics.
Anybody interested in creating their own AR applications should find something of interest in the book.

Prototyping Augmented Reality

Author Bart

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.

I just bought it, though I am not convinced. A strange kind of book. Many subjects, but is there a grand finale ?
I like it because you don’t have to be a real programmer to use it.
FLARToolkit is not for commercial use. 2 chapters on Blender 2.49 with an update in an appendix ! The content is not very clear.23.05 euro, shipping included.

I bought this book at Octuber. This book is giving us the tools to “start” AR projects using mainly open source software.! +A

So old yet. Is there a project in which all subjects get together ? Arduino, Blender, Processing and Android all together ?

What’s augmented reality? I’m too lazy to Google it.
